CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 178: WHO IS THE FATHER OF THE CHILD?

"...?" Ling Yueyue was speechless, unsure how to respond.

It seems that Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin are secretly married! They seem to not want others to know about their relationship!

But now Anxin is pregnant! So how should she answer?

Married? Not married?

It feels like no matter how she answers, it’s wrong!

After pondering for a while, Ling Yueyue finally shook her head and said, "No! She’s not married yet!"

Since Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting are secretly married, there must be a reason! Since they don’t talk about it, she better not say anything!

Being pregnant before marriage isn’t a big deal! In today’s society, there are a lot of people who get pregnant before marriage!

So, weighing the options, Ling Yueyue decisively chose not to tell them about Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin’s secret marriage.

Su Yichen frowned, "Then what about the child in her belly?"

Ling Yueyue gulped, her mind blanking out, and she blurted out, "...? Who knows! It just happened mysteriously!"

"...? Mysteriously?" Su Yichen’s frown deepened.

"Yeah, it just happened mysteriously! Haha...!" Ling Yueyue laughed dryly, turning away sheepishly, not daring to meet Su Yichen’s eyes.

Su Yichen sat there quietly again, his gaze on Ye Anxin filled with compassion.

Li Lin stood in the medical room and listened to their conversation, further cementing her thoughts.

The child in Ye Anxin’s belly is Huo Junmo’s!

It must have been that night, and then Ye Anxin got pregnant!

Haha! This child came at the perfect time, truly a blessing from heaven.

Li Lin stepped forward, coming up to Su Yichen, "Professor Su, there’s another seminar this afternoon! We should go, or we’ll be late!"

Su Yichen didn’t look up, nor did he look at her, and said faintly, "Teacher Li, you go first!"

Ling Yueyue smiled slightly, pretending to be generous, "Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany you! It’s good to have a companion if we’re both late!"

Su Yichen was too preoccupied to pay her any attention and didn’t even hear what she said! He just sat by the bedside looking at Ye Anxin, his eyes and heart full of her.

Time passed slowly, and after half an hour of unconsciousness, Ye Anxin’s tightly closed eyelids moved slightly.

Su Yichen, who had been watching her closely, was the first to notice her condition and hurriedly put his hand on her arm, softly asking, "Ye, wake up, wake up!"

"Uh...?!" Ye Anxin let out a soft moan, reached out her hand, and pressed her forehead with her palm.

Ye Anxin grabbed her other hand joyfully, excitedly saying, "Anxin, you finally woke up! Quickly, tell me, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Ye Anxin slowly opened her heavy eyelids. The first thing she saw was Su Yichen’s concerned face, followed by Ling Yueyue’s awkward smile.

"I... what happened to me?" Ye Anxin rubbed her throbbing temples, stared at the ceiling for a long time, still not realizing where she was.

Ling Yueyue glared at her, annoyed, "You’re asking what happened? I told you you’re an adult now, can’t you take care of yourself? Look at you, so skinny you’re just bones!"

"I’ve always been this skinny!" Ye Anxin blinked, feeling perplexed.

What’s with Yueyue today? Why did she suddenly say she’s skinny? She’s always been this skinny, right?

"You...!" Ling Yueyue wanted to continue complaining, but suddenly saw Li Lin standing by the bed, and then glanced at Doctor Liu and Su Yichen in the medical room. She finally closed her mouth, saying nothing.

Ling Yueyue couldn’t answer Ye Anxin for a while, seeing Ye Anxin still puzzled, Su Yichen couldn’t help but say, "Ye, you just fainted. Doctor Liu said it’s due to malnutrition and poor rest! Moreover, you... you’re not alone now, there’s someone in your belly too! After you get home, you should take good care of your body!"

Ye Anxin couldn’t help but touch her belly, "You all know now?"

Ling Yueyue rolled her eyes fiercely, "Please, Doctor Liu practices both Western and Chinese medicine. Pregnancy can be determined just by feeling the pulse!"

"...?" Su Yichen was silent for a moment, pondered briefly, and couldn’t resist his doubts, still asked, "Ye, who is the father of the child in your belly? Since you’re pregnant with his child, when are you planning to get married?"

Although this was a topic he didn’t want to broach, given the circumstances, he had to open his mouth.

After all, we can’t let Ye Anxin be a single mother!

Moreover, although the school doesn’t explicitly prohibit marriage and childbirth during school time!

But having a child out of wedlock, with so many people at school, would face enormous public pressure.

"...?" Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin froze and instinctively looked at Ling Yueyue.

"Haha!" Ling Yueyue laughed awkwardly, scratched her head, and sheepishly looked away.

Su Yichen asked again, "Ye, have you ever thought about getting married?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin held her breath, nervously watching Ye Anxin.

She wasn’t nervous because she was anticipating an answer, but because she was afraid Ye Anxin would say she didn’t want to get married, prompting Su Yichen to disregard the child in her belly and want to marry her.

"...!" Ye Anxin shyly lowered her head! As for Su Yichen’s question, she didn’t know how to respond.

She is now secretly married to the uncle, except for a few close people, others don’t know they are married! And the uncle has kept the news well-contained!

She doesn’t know why, but she knows the uncle doesn’t want others to know their relationship.

However, lying in front of the teacher, she couldn’t do it, thus simply lowered her head and didn’t answer.

Ye Anxin’s behavior was viewed by Su Yichen as a form of default acceptance.

She doesn’t want to get married? Maybe there’s an unspeakable difficulty, preventing her from marrying?

Thinking of this, Su Yichen frowned, gently asking, "In that case, do you want the child in your belly?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin suddenly became agitated, covering her belly with a resolute attitude, "Of course, I want it! This is my child, no matter what, I will give birth to it!"

Seeing her gripping her belly, looking concerned, Su Yichen felt a pang of heartache, "But, having a child out of wedlock will face criticism in school? Can you bear it?"

Ye Anxin said pleadingly, "Next semester I will choose to take a leave of absence! And for now, I hope the professor can keep this secret for me and not let this matter spread!"

"This?" Su Yichen hesitated slightly, glancing at Doctor Liu and Li Lin.

Doctor Liu smiled and said, "Rest assured, keeping a patient’s secret is the basic integrity of a doctor! I won’t say anything about this!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue, Ye Anxin, and Su Yichen all turned their gaze towards Li Lin.

Being watched like this, Li Lin suddenly felt uncomfortable, involuntarily retreating a step.

Su Yichen spoke gently, "Teacher Li, please keep this matter confidential!"

Li Lin never could refuse Su Yichen’s requests, so she nodded in agreement.
